"Our Supplier Sustainability, Quality Assurance and Merchandising teams seek to prevent and detect UAS. If a UAS case is found, we investigate, require remediation, and may impose financial chargebacks, or, in severe or repeat cases, we will terminate our business with the supplier. We immediately escalate UAS incidents, and take the following steps:
• Require the unauthorized facility to immediately stop production of any Gap Inc. branded apparel.
• Require all goods (finished or unfinished) be returned to a facility approved by Gap Inc., segregated and held until
the issue is resolved.
• Lead an investigation to look for and address any critical issues in the unauthorized facility.
• Require the approved facility to register for management systems training as a preventative measure and ensure
that the facility invests in systems to prevent future violation" p.10
